recommended oils. Using non-designed parts
for Sanyang motorcycle may damage the

Special tools are designed for remove and
install of components without damaging the

result in parts damaged.

metric tools. Metric bolts, nuts, and screws are
not interchangeable with the English system,

Clean the outside of the parts or the cover

Otherwise, dirt and deposit accumulated on the
part's surface may fall into the engine, chassis,
or brake system to cause a damage.

Wash and clean parts with high ignition point
solvent, and blow dry with compressed air. Pay
special attention to O-rings or oil seals because
most cleaning agents have an adverse effect
on them.
z
Never bend or twist a control cable to prevent
stiff control and premature worn out.

oil. Check these parts before installation to
make sure that they are in good condition,
replace if necessary.

When loosening a component which has
different sized fasteners, operate with a
diagonal pattern and work from inside out.
Loosen the small fasteners first. If the bigger
ones are loosen first, small fasteners may
receive too much stress.

Store complex components such as
transmission parts in the proper assemble
order and tie them together with a wire for ease
of installation later.

Note the reassemble position of the important
components before disassembling them to
ensure they will be reassembled in correct
dimensions (depth, distance or position).

replaced when disassembled including gaskets
metal seal rings, O-rings, oil seals, snap rings,
and split pins.
